He’ll be a good player for them. He is already in Arizona during the offseason for trainings he has set up Scottsdale, might as well live there year round for 2 years, build up clientele from being a Cardinal and hope they win the Super Bowl.

Don’t knock it. Mathis was one of the better guards in the NFL last year. People are going to see more good Olineman play longer and play well. I would put Mathis up against Iupati any day of the week. Tons better the. Cooper could ever dream to be

To be honest Metro. If you were a good FA would you even consider Detroit ? Not a fan of anyone in your division but you have to look at the big picture in Detroit It appears that Detroit does not even know the big picture. The better FA are off the market. With few exceptions , it’s bargain shopping now. Just my opinion.

Elite level guard, with some tread left. Started and stabilized an offensive line with 3 rookie starters and another injured vet, that played out of position. Only bright on a O-line that won the superbowl. Cardinal fans are going to love this high character team mate.

34 is really close to the end of the line for any position in the NFL except kicker, punter and maybe QB. That being said, Keim has hit a lot more than he’s missed so I wouldn’t bet against it working out. Mathis can’t be worse than Cooper.

Hoping for the best but am I missing something. Everything I’m reading is saying offered him a contract. Nothing is saying signed a contract. We would love to have him but just wondering if we are jumping the gun.

I’m sure AZ can pull the plug after a season if he doesn’t perform to their expectations, if he accepts the deal, without and significant consequences aa far as $ and cap goes. I would also think that he’s not going to be getting paid a fortune, mostly bc of his age. I think this most likely is a high-reward/low risk pickup. If anything he will be an improvement at that position, and worst case he’s not and they let him go as soon as they are contractually able to with taking a significant hit cap wise. The numbers in the contract will tell the story, but I’d say it’s safe to assume it will be a team friendly deal. Seems like a win-win to me and AZ could be adding an important piece to an already top tier offense.

I think 2 years blocking for CP and David Johnson on a Super Bowl level team in a city he hangs out in anyway would be a perfect ending to a great career. Two years is perfect, likely exactly the amount of tread left on those tires.

If this turns into a signing, with the Cardinals Chandler Jones pick up today the Cards off-season went from quiet to eleventy in a matter of days. Keim is a stud GM.

Pretty bummed he wasn’t able to come back to Denver I really liked Mathis and I’m glad he was able to get a SB ring with the Broncos. He killed it in run blocking all year it was his pass blocking that needed work although he played with a bad ankle pretty much all year. Dude is a beast watch him on IG and he throws serious weight around.
